"We are somewhat disappointed by the short battery life of the PSP Go, which is most likely a concession to form-factor. Nevertheless, we had hoped that improvements in battery technology and the removal of spinning UMD parts would have increased autonomous life to more than 6 hours of play time. We eventually got used to the shorter battery life in our old PSP, mainly because we played it home plugged into the outlet. However, for a product designated "Go", this device might come up short for some heavy-playing road warriors."
